Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' is a well-loved variety of hydrangea, renowned for its large, striking white flowerheads.
As autumn approaches, the flowers transition from white to shades of pale green to dark green.
The stems are upright in habit and strengthen as the plant matures.
Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' flowers on new growth each year.
To maintain the shape, remove the faded flowerheads in the spring after danger of frosts has passed. Cut back to a pair of buds and either down to ground level or to a couple of buds above ground level to keep some strong framework to the plant.
